What happened

Not sure if it would be considered discrimination but they marketed it as a lgbtq Vegas elopement only for the models to be two straight couples and two straight women who hadn’t even met before the shoot, not a queer couple. They obviously had no chemistry, were both in relationships with men & it was so awkward. The hosts also had terrible communication, the studio was in a really odd spot in a warehouse and when I arrived they hadn’t provided any parking or arrival instructions and it took me calling, texting, and emailing for 30 minutes to get them to answer. Just bad vibes all around.

Advice for the host

Don’t market queer events for clout and to make money off of people.
